larger than earth’s moon. Mercury orbits the sun is a about 88 days but takes 58 earth days to rotate once. The distance from the sun is 0.58 x 10e8 it takes the light from the sun 190 seconds to reach to mercury. Mercury has no moons and it’s the second largest planet measured by mass. Venus is the hottest planet in the solar system and the brightest of all planets. This planet is the same size of earth it takes 225 to orbit the sun. the surface temperatures up to 464 degrees. The distance from the sun is 1.1 x 10e8. it takes the light from the sun 360 seconds to travel to Venus. Earth is the planet we live on. It is 4.6 billion years old. it is the 3rd planet from the sun and it is the 5th largest planet in the solar system. The speed of light from the sun is 1.5 x 10e8. it takes the light 500 seconds to reach to earth. Mars has the largest canyon in the solar system. Mars has a very thin atmosphere, mostly carbon dioxide, but dust storms can cover the whole planet for months at a time. The planet has two moons. It would take about 6 months for a spacecraft to get to mars. The speed of light from the sun is 23.3 x 10e8. it takes the light 760 seconds to reach to earth Jupiter Takes about 12 years to orbit the sun and rotates about 10 hours. The short Jupiter day is amazing since the planet is roughly 11 earth diameters wide. Jupiter has known 39 moons. Jupiter is a ball of dense hydrogen, helium, water, nitrogen, and other gases over a tiny rocky core. the speed of light from the sun is 7.8 x 10e8 It takes the light 43 minutes to reach to Jupiter. Jupiter is also the largest planet in the solar system. Saturn is the second largest planet in the solar system. Saturn has seven thin, flat rings around it. A couple of planets have rings, but their rings are much fainter than those around Saturn. the speed of light is 14.0 x 10e8 it takes the light from the sun 1 hour 20 minutes to travel to Saturn. Uranus is hanging like a giant cue ball in space Uranus has hidden its secrets in frozen gases. The icy planet is a smaller version of Jupiter. It have faint rings and it rotates on its side and so half the time one pole is toward the sun. the speed of light is 29.0 x 10e8 it takes the light from the sun 2 hours 40 minutes to travel to Uranus. Neptune is one of the solar system gas giants. Gas giants are mostly hydrogen, helium, and methane gases. Neptune gives the planet its color because it absorbs red light and reflects blue back into space. the speed of light is 45.0 x 10e8 it takes the light from the sun 4 hours 40 minutes to travel to Neptune Pluto is a dwarf planet far from the sun. Pluto is a small rocky object that lies at the very edge of the solar system. Pluto is so cold that nitrogen and oxygen which we breathe so easily on earth it orbit about 248 years sometimes it takes inside Neptune’s orbit. the speed of light is 59.0 x 10e8 it takes the light from the sun 5 hours 30 minutes to travel to Pluto
